While most people see Christmas as a time to kick back and relax, you’re just worried about how many workouts you’re going to miss because of travel, and because there’s no box near to where your folks live.

We get it, don’t worry. Say no more.

We all know the score, and that’s why we’ve prepared 12 original workouts that you can do anywhere, anytime, with minimal equipment (maybe just a Velites Fire 2.0 jump rope.)

Protein keeps you feeling full for longer, and does much more to help you build and retain lean muscle mass. That’s key over this time of year, when you might not have access to heavy weights, that you can maintain muscle mass and use this as a chance to recover before getting back at in 2017.

If you’re not someone who indulges in a lot of unhealthy food usually, then you won’t miss it, you can’t miss it, if you don’t start in the first place just because it’s Christmas.

Limit your alcohol consumption, too, if you can.

Even in the short term, when it comes down to it, you pick one or the other: performance or alcohol. The choice is yours, but if you’re here, then you’re probably all about training and feeling great, so stick with it and get a headstart going into the new year.

Here, we’ve grouped the 12 days of Christmas WODs into categories, but you can mix and match them however you like.

The benefits of training bodyweight

Training bodyweight exercises is also a great way to stay in touch with your raw strength, to build lean muscle mass while still being able to move with speed and agility; something which can start to go away of all you do is train with barbells.
